I'm hearing a few posters are not happy and avoiding the chat room.
Let's update a few myths and put to rest some of the gossip.
Yes, all chats are logged. They have been ever since we have had a chat room, 6-7 years.
This is no secret, it's been discussed in the chat room and on the board before.
Why do we log chats? In case we have an issue of abuse or we are ever forced legally to account for what goes on in our chat room. Remember, it's DR1 they go after first.
If you're going to abuse people or get offensive, do it outside of DR1.
Message board, PM, chat, whatever, it all comes under DR1, so the same rules apply.
As a joke and to make a point, I said I was going to create a new forum based on the years of chat logs and I guess a few people got upset or scared. Yes, it was a joke and I have no intent of posting the chat logs, despite some of the negative stuff and obvious abuse that is thrown at some posters that are not regular chat participants.
Banned or on vacation posters technically cannot get access to the chat, so I thought.
Apparently the software has a glitch. The chat software is supplied by a 3rd party company, despite having to pay for upgrades, service etc, they are slow in fixing minor stuff.
It's being worked on and hopefully resolved this week.
I hope that clears some of the recent gossip.
If you have any questions, post them here or PM me.
Thanks.

, but they then laughed and Robert told us he was just kidding. I guess some people [including you] left the room before the 'confession' and that's how it got told incorrectly.
